I play more on the PC, but have the XBOX. Why the heck did you come up with a PS4 exclusive contest when both consoles have the game?

if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Karma for MS locking away Mass Effect 1 and the GTA 4 DLC I guess.

doesnt hurt to enter.
that code is roughly $15 retail... sides did the code say it was for pc only? could every well work on consoles, wont know till we see the blurbage on the code.
When I said guaranteed, I was referring to the fact that the drawing only gives you a CHANCE. The upcoming Sovy promo is guaranteed you WILL get one if you get the little pack.
Both are a choice.
While it doesn't say anything about PC only, the majority of players so far are PC since console is still new.
Also... we don't know if PC and consoles will be getting ship releases at the same time. There are many questions still left unanswered. All I was pointing out was that complaining about console exclusives is kinda pointless when we have something coming up.

Might have been early run sets or they just don't sell well in your area.

As a Gamer, I personally feel the platform exclusives are one of the worst things to happen to gaming as a whole since the invention of 'pre order DLC' (Content that's locked out of the game if you don't pay early.)
For the record, I'm not a 'brand loyalty' type of guy. When it comes to XBOne vs PS4, I don't care.. I go with what gives me the best deal for my money. Intel vs AMD, iPhone vs Android.. all of it.. I don't care. You can take your brand and shove it, I buy from whoever gives me the best deal.
That being said, we really need to find a way to end platform exclusive offers. Yes, I get it, they provide a way for one brand to say they have something that the other brand(s) don't, but in the end it's the player that loses out. Most people aren't going to buy a PC, an XBox One, and a PS4 all just so that they can have access to every offer so ultimately when you make an offer for one you give the other gamers the short end of the stick. Offering promotions on all platforms appeals to a larger player base and encourages more overall participation.
This isn't even about this Attack Wing thing, because honestly.. I don't have any interest in this either way. It's just the overall idea of platform exclusives that I object to. This applies to everything, especially games that release only on XBox or only on PS4 and are never available to the other console or to the PC crowd. I'm just overall tired of seeing stuff like this.
(Surprisingly for the advertisers I'm not buying a PS4 to play their game. )
That's even more strange when you consider that the PS4 has an AMD GPU. Strange that Nvidia would advertise a system made by their competitor.
and the company that made the game in question probably paid nvidia a bundle to advertise it - money talks, you know?

Hard to believe? The biggest offender of exclusives is the most popular gaming franchise in the history of gaming franchises, Pokemon. Yes, that game that blew up like you wouldn't believe off just one game and has yet to not sell like gangbusters also has the most regional exclusives. There's pokemon that have only been awarded from tournaments, pokemon that only been gifted out of Pokemon stores, even pokemon that have only been gifted out of Japanese train stations. Train stations, not game stores! Some of these pokemon have moves exclusive to said pokemon, like the pikachu with Surf. Surf, that water-only utility move!
This notion that exclusives are 'unfair' and 'biased', while marginally true, is also inherently selfish, entitled and speaks more to the attitudes making the claims than it does to what the claims are actually about.
Of course, what do I know? I used to collect Attacktix - now there's you something that didn't work out that well, marketingwise...
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
I used to have that pokemon back in the old Yellow version.
I still have it
Yeah, you're right.. wanting things to be available for everyone is 'selfish' and 'entitled.'
You really should look up the definition of words before you use them in a public setting. No one is denying that exclusivity has been around forever, I grew up with Mario on the Nintendo and Sonic on the Sega.. it's nothing new, but it still sucks. Just because something has sucked for a long time doesn't make it right.
If you think wanting things to be freely available to everyone is 'selfish' then the only attitude in question here is yours.
Heck, it's attitudes like these that ruin other people's enjoyment on the games they play. In XIV during the 2.0 Beta 1.0 players were given access to various items they'd been able to obtain and keep. Among these was a special mount obtainable during the last summer of 1.0, the Minstrel's Goobbue. When players who hadn't been there for the last year of 1.0 saw these mounts they immediately took to the official forums to complain about how they want the mount despite having ignored 1.0 for reasons unknown. Thanks to their cries for wanting this and other things only obtainable in 1.0 all players coming into the the game with 1.0 characters were forced to play on a small number of servers, unable to transfer from them for months after the game's launch. All because of the selfishness of people angry over missing out on some exclusives that they could have easily obtained for themselves if they really cared about XIV. And I wish it ended with that, but this year has just been more of the same, with these self same players again whining over exclusives not unlike the pokemon in my prior example. International versions with their own special incentives to get players in those regions to try the game.
Yeah, I'm a little miffed at the attitudes people like that portray. You'd be, too, in the face of that kind of selfishness.
